Generally, a snowboard is chosen according to a rider's weight, ability and riding style. A shorter snowboard will be more manageable and easier to maneuver – great for beginners, lighterweight, or more freestyle-oriented riders. A longer snowboard will be faster and more stable – great for heavier, more advanced, or aggressive freeriders.

For more freestyle-oriented performance: size between your shoulder and chin.

For more freeride-oriented performance: size between your chin and nose or above.

Built to take freeride further into the unknown, the XV SPLIT is the splitboard version of Xavier De Le Rue's signature pro model snowboard. Featuring the same directional shape, flex profile, and Serrated Edge technology as the standard XV, this splitboard version retains the original's hard-charging characteristics so you can attack the biggest, boldest, and most remote backcountry lines.

Why choose the XV SPLIT

AMPTEK ELITE ROCKER

Our three patented blends of rocker and camber are each tailored to a specific riding style and intensity level. Featuring stiff extremities and a softer waist, AMPTEK ELITE is composed of 60-100% camber with an applicable percentage of rocker at the extremities, offering explosive edge grip, pop, and stability.

FLEX10

Rossignol snowboard FLEX ratings range from softest (1) to stiffest (10) so you can select the best flex pattern for your skill and riding style. Softer boards are easier to manipulate, stiffer boards offer more power and stability.

SERRATED EDGES 7M

Our original 7M SERRATED EDGE technology offers seven points of edge contact (three between the inserts and two on either side of the inserts), expanding grip to once unreachable areas of the board for maximum stability and edge hold in the firmest, iciest snow conditions.

ABS

Offered as walls or built in cores, ABS provides enhanced durability while keeping the core safe from moisture.

Stronger and lighter than fiberglass and with more elasticity than carbon, basalt fibers enhance power and stability while removing vibrations.

GLASS FIBER

Has greater elongation before break than carbon and comes in multiple weights and weavings, making it our #1 choice for customized flex and torsional resistance. Glass fiber also stabilizes the mechanical properties of our wood cores over time.

REVERSE SUPER DIRECTIONAL • Very directional flex • Extremely stiff under the front foot for confident control and maximum power • Stiff waist for stability at high speed • Medium stiff under the rear foot for smoother turns and nimble maneuverability

THC2 CBF2

This ski-like splitboard-specific Triple Hybrid Core featuring Dual Torsion Box, CBF² laminate, and two Microcell beams delivers lightweight balance, control and edge grip. The center Microcell beam has been replaced with ABS for enhanced durability where the board splits.

ROLLER TIP

BASE TECHNOLOGY: An industy-first, Rossignol's Roller technology raises the edges of the snow by milling the core of the board. The Tip Roller raises the edges off 1mm of the snow just past the contact points to reduce weight at the tip and tail and direct snow around the board for increased stability at high speed and floatation in powder.
